Question

13. A number is 6 more than two times another
number The sum of the two no is 24
Find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two numbers be x and y

x = 2y + 6 ( eq 1)

x+y = 24

x = 24 - y

subsituting in eq 1

24-y = 2y + 6

24 - 6 = 2y + 3y

18 = 3y

y = 6

x = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

let the two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.

By the given condition

Case 1:

x= 2y+6--------(1)

Case 2:

x+y= 24 -------(2)

Now, solving (1) and (2) by substitution method

Substituting (1) in (2)

(2y+6) +y =24

2y+y=24-6

3y= 18

y=6 -------(3)

Substitute (3) in (2)

x+(6) = 24

x=18

Hence, x=18 ans y=6
